MLS has voted to switch to the European schedule
I know its a moot point, but I hope Colorado Rapids voted no.
Games at DSGP in December and February will be played in blizzards and ice and -10 F conditions. It will be hellish.

"Being one of the few that isn’t aligned with the international calendar has us almost have an American exceptionalism," Don Garber said. "Saying that we’re going to play the game the way we want to play it, as opposed to the way the rest of the world plays it."

MLS will move to a winter-centric schedule in 2027
The plan is for the 2027-28 campaign to start in late July, stop from mid-December to mid-February, resume the regular season through April, then have the playoffs in May.

Mail in voting is great because I physically dropped my ballot off at the courthouse drop box yesterday afternoon and got an email last night that it was both received and counted.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I should be as clear as I can: there is no future worth fighting for that accepts as a compromise building detainment camps for undesireables, and it is incumbent on anyone looking to a future worth having that that we find ways to take care of each other without building Alligator Omelas.

A key aspect of authoritrianism is the targeted persecution of political enemies.
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

The Zohran "aunt" thing is the funniest hatchetjob of all time. There was a prominent person in my childhood named Uncle Bonehead who was just a friend of my uncle. To this day I have no idea what his actual name was. This nomenclature is not unusual in my culture (recovered alcoholic Masshole).

There is so much unknown about how ICE intends to use Paragon's terrifying no-click surveillance spyware. We appreciate members of the House Oversight Committee for sending this letter and trying to find out how this spyware will be used.

Recovery is a constant journey, and I don't really even know what the final destination is... but at least I'm still putting one foot in front of the other, small progress day-by-day.
Still, I don't know what it means, to be human... a real human being.
